Exquisite Ford Sierra Sapphire 2WD Cosworth in Radiant Red with 29,469 miles from the renowned Bonkers RS Collection.
EQUIPMENT
Bodyside mouldings with grey insert, polycarbonate bumpers, integral front air dam, colour coded door mirrors, heated front windscreen, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, tinted glass, homofocal headlights, headlamp wash/wipe, rear window aerial, colour coded rear spoiler, extended centre console, quartz digital clock, fascia light dimmer, leather gearknob and three spoke sports steering wheel, graphic information module, map reading lamps, tilt and slide sunroof, central locking, front and rear electric windows, integral rear headrests. Dealer fitted accessories; Autowatch 160RLi/T CAT 1 alarm and immobiliser, Ford original mud flaps.
EXTERIOR
This completely unrestored original example is nothing short of mind blowing. The factory original Ford Radiant Red (code P9) paintwork is simply spectacular with a deep uniform shine throughout, making polishing a sheer joy! Two miniscule chips to the offside rear door barely detract from an otherwise pristine finish. There is no rust or corrosion whatsoever and all factory panels are straight and damage free. All exterior trim, glass and lights remain in excellent order, as have the manufacturer correct badges and decals and even the supplying Ford main dealer rear window sticker. The clean engine bay is totally standard and still has all the correct engine and chassis identification numbers confirming this to be a true genuine RS Cosworth example. Breathtaking.
INTERIOR
The factory fresh interior of this unrepeatable car is an instant throwback to a 1989 Ford Main Dealer showroom! All the door shuts and hinges are spotlessly clean and polished. Trimmed in special order original Raven Black full leather (code 6R), the seats and matching door cards are nothing short of impeccable with only tiny light creases to the leather on the bolsters. The dashboard is completely free from any cracks and all incorporated switches and functions are intact and operate as they should. The three spoke leather trimmed sports steering wheel and gear knob are perfect and still have the natural veins in the leather. The standard electronic sound system (model 2006) with power amplifier remains fully operational. The ultimate RS cockpit, wonderfully preserved.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Fitted with the standard 1993cc Dual Over Head Cam (DOHC) engine with the Garrett AiResearch T.03B turbocharger and intercooler, the racing pedigree of this car is truly evident. Performance figures of 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 150mph enable this car to firmly hold its own among modern contenders. The standard Borg-Warner five speed manual transmission delivers wonderfully light and crisp changes throughout the range. A recent engine service ensures optimum performance standards, exactly as Ford intended.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The factory fitted 15 X 7 RS Sierra Cosworth ‘Lattice Style’ alloy wheels are unrestored and perfect. The stamped Ford badge and serial numbers on each wheel are clearly defined having never been repainted. The wheels are shod in brand new and now unobtainable and highly sought after Dunlop SP Sport D40 tyres, as fitted when new. Diagonally split hydraulic, anti-lock braking assistance installs infinite confidence.
HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 9th October 1989 by Ford Main Dealer Hartwell Motors of Banbury, the vehicle was purchased by the first owner Mr B Grantham. An original sales invoice in the history file illustrates the purchase price of £20,774.08 including the transfer of private plate SUE 593. A further two keepers cherished this incredible example prior to being purchased by the fanatical and widely respected Mark Bailey in January 2008 and forming part of the world famous Bonkers RS Collection. After six years enjoying pride of place in the Bonkers museum, KGF Classic Cars are privileged to offer this unique and very special vehicle to the next discerning keeper.
A large history file further consists of all original handbooks, service schedule, radio guides and other point of sale literature. Many main dealer and specialist invoices as well as previous MOT certificates leave in no doubt the incredibly low 29,469 miles covered, and help to document the fastidious care this example has received.
One of only five special order Radiant Red Sapphire Cosworths built to celebrate the end of 2WD production. The ultimate collectors piece.
MOT February 2015, HPI Clear, Approved Used Car Check Certificate.
